Inhaltsangabe

Are you constantly searching for that ever-elusive consistent game of golf? You may know how to hit the shots, but do you know how to play the game of golf?

Do you play a round of golf, feeling that you have played pretty well, and find that you are continually frustrated that your score has not decreased as you would have hoped?

Learning the art of scoring on the golf course is part of the natural progression of learning the game of golf. Up to this point, you have learned "how," and now you have to take accountability for the more important question, "How many?"

This book includes the methods to increase consistency through practice techniques and on-course strategies. It gives you the questions you need to ask yourself to make the right decisions on the course. It teaches you how to make your practice time productive and shows you advanced shot-making options that are available to you as a more experienced player. Once you learn each particular skill-putting, chipping, pitching, sand and full swing-you will then learn how to make all of these shots work under pressure on the course, when each one counts.

Apply the techniques you will learn here, and you will see your scores and your handicap drop over time. Find out what the lower-handicap players are doing and thinking. Learn to choose the highest-percentage shot in different situation, along with a short game progression to help you to decide whether to putt, chip, or pitch.

Most golf instructionals-especially those for women-deal with the absolute beginner. The program Kellie Stenzel presents here is unique in that it helps golfers with the next stage of their game, thereby enhancing their enjoyment on the course.

Rezensionen

Teaching pro Stenzel, the author of an excellent beginner's instructional called The Women's Guide to Golf (2000), now addresses intermediate women players, those who have experienced some success but still have trouble getting all the parts of their game to work at the same time. Her advice on the swing is straightforward and clearly explained, and she doesn't make the common mistake of trying to teach average players to swing like Tiger Woods. Much of the book is equally applicable to intermediate men players as well as women, but Stenzel does emphasize the parts of the game (using a full complement of fairway woods, for example) that are especially important for women, who typically don't hit the ball as far as men. Her chapters on chipping, pitching, and sand play are superb--good advice without the complexity that short-game guru Dave Pelz brings to the topic. A fine instructional for average golfers hoping to improve. Bill Ott
